The drugs incident took place when psychologist Helen Winter bumped into two clients while on a night out with a teacher friend in Vauxhall.  

The panel's chairwoman Penny Griffith said Dr Winter had breached professional boundaries on more than one occasion: 

"The conduct was extremely serious, demonstrated a failure to maintain appropriate therapeutic boundaries, and was a significant breach of trust, particularly given the vulnerability of the young people concerned."

But "the risk of repetition was very low" and there was "heartfelt remorse" from the psychologist.

"To impose the more restrictive sanction of striking off the register would be punitive and disproportionate at this stage," Ms Griffith added.

A psychologist at Kids Company who was found to have given illegal drugs to one of the charity's vulnerable young clients has been banned for practising for 12 months.

A Health and Care Professions Council panel heard Helen Winter gave MDMA, the active ingredient in ecstasy, to a client in a Vauxhall nightclub toilet in 2014.
